Helping Hands Pediatrics Receives the “Richard Brilli, MD – "We Get Results" Quality Improvement Award
Helping Hands Pediatrics received the “Richard Brilli, MD Award - We Get Results” Quality Improvement (QI) award by showing significant improvement in suicide prevention efforts as part of the Nationwide Children’s Hospital ZerOH Suicide Collaborative. Helping Hands Pediatrics faced a significant barrier at the beginning of this project after their integrated behavioral health clinician (BHC) who was going to help lead the project left the practice. The Helping Hands team worked hard to pivot, distribute the workload and continue forward without missing a beat building their infrastructure. By working together, the practice significantly increased their suicide focused screening from 0% to an average documented completion of 98.5% at well-child visits! Helping Hands Pediatrics reached well over their aim of 80%. Congratulations to Helping Hands Pediatrics on a job well done! Thank you for your continued efforts in improving patient outcomes.

The Primary Care Provider (PCP) change request form can be used to update the provider to whom a patient is attributed. The attribution process is fully handled through the managed care plans. However, patient choice is the first criterion that determines which provider the patient should be attributed. To ensure providers are receiving credit for their patients, the provider’s name must appear on the back of the patient’s Medicaid card. To update your patient’s Medicaid card, have the patient sign the PCP change request form and fax it to the associated Medicaid plan.
Partners For Kids has also made it easier to identify the kids needing to complete this process. On the new Partners For Kids provider portal, you will find a mismatched attribution report. This report identifies patients that receive care from your providers but are not attributed to your practice. Reach out to your Partners For Kids provider relations specialist if you would like to obtain access to the provider portal to review this report.
